Servers

What works on servers, what a server can turn off, and servers with several worlds.

What is allowed #

BuildPrint runs on your client only, so it works on any server you can join. What you are allowed to use is up to the server.

FeatureWhat it does on a server
Ghost, colors, material list, layer viewOnly changes what you see.
Easy destroyYou break the blocks yourself. It skips the ones that are right.
Easy place and drag placeYou click, and the right block goes down the right way. Much easier than by hand.
Angel placementPlaces blocks in mid-air. Does not work with strict anti-cheat.
PrinterPlaces blocks for you, without clicking.

Easy place, angel placement and the printer can count as cheating. If the rules do not say, ask the staff first.

Server rules #

A server can tell BuildPrint which features are allowed. It does that with BuildPrint Policy, a companion for server admins that is coming soon.

  • A server can turn off: easy place, drag place, easy destroy, angel placement, auto-rotate, the printer, and saving schematics of its world.
  • It can limit the speed and range of the printer. The lower of its limit and your setting is used.
  • When you join, a chat line says what is off.
  • The shield in the top left of the BuildPrint menu shows everything the server allows, with any note from its admins. So does /buildprint rules.
  • Settings that are off are grayed out with the reason.
  • Your own settings are not changed. They apply again on other servers.

Several worlds behind one address #

Some servers run a hub, a survival world and more behind one address. To your game these look like one world. BuildPrint remembers the bedrock pattern under a build when you place it, and only shows the build in the world where that pattern matches.

  • In another world the build is listed as "other world" and is hidden, not removed.
  • This works in the overworld and the nether. It has no effect in the End, or where there is no bedrock.
  • Turn it off with World fingerprinting in the settings.
